How to Make

Step 2: Combine the mayonnaise and roasted garlic in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 3: Spread both sides of each bun with mayonnaise and mustard.
-
Step 4: Place a slice of cheese on the bottom portion of each bun, place the burger on top of the cheese, then top the cheese with a slice of ham, followed by another slice of cheese and then the pickle slices.
-
Step 5: Place the tops of the bun over the pickles and cook on a sandwich press, or wrap the burgers in aluminum foil and cook in a hot skillet over high heat with a heavy skillet placed on top of the burger to press the sandwich.

Step 6: Cook until golden brown and cheese has melted.
